After a new path was opened in 2018 connecting the spring Mana at Portaria to Makrinitsa, crossing the Mega Rema stream at a level higher than the asphalt road (and offering fabulous views), we now have the opportunity to create a circular walk, avoiding the asphalt almost completely. Caution is required after heavy rain, or when the snow melts in spring, causing the stream to flow enough water to make crossing difficult (usually it is dry). The walk is best avoided in such circumstances. The walk may start either from Makrinitsa (end of bus line), or Portaria (Adamena fountain), or Stagiates village square. Walking time 3.20', about 4,5 hours with stops. Signed with various signs and red paint.
